Optimasi Proses Pembuatan Mi Sorgum Kering dengan Menggunakan Ekstruder Ulir Ganda

Abstract

The Objective of this research was to optimize two processing variable i.e. extruder temperature (80, 85, and 90 oC) and screw speed (10, 15, and 20 Hz). The optimum process was chosen using Response Surface Method (RSM) in Design Expert 7.0 software. Optimization using response surface method (RSM) were based on 7 parameters, i.e., cooking loss, elongation, hardness, cohesiveness, gumminess, chewiness, and springiness. Result of this research showed that the optimum processing condition with desirability of 0.551, was resulted from the combination of the extruder temperature 85 oC and screw speed 10 Hz. The verification showed that the sorghum noodles from this optimum condition had cooking loss of 12.87 %, elongation of 234.84 %, hardness of 2094.82 gf, cohesiveness of 0.597, gumminess of -37.25 gf, chewiness of 33.492 gf, and springiness of 0.899
